6. Makeauth
This utility inputs usernames and passwords and outputs data appropriate for
dwun's authfile. If neither the -a nor the -r option is given,
dwunmakeauth defaults to creating a new authfile or appending to an existing
one and will ask for a list of users.
See dwunmakeauth -h for a list of command-line options.
dwunmakeauth [-i] [-a] [-r] [-f FILE] [-v] [-h]
- -i
- initialise authfile by adding the meta-users ``%all'', ``%unknown''
and ``%con''.
- -a
- add a single user.
- -r
- remove a single user (unsupported, instead shutdown dwun and use a text
editor).
- -f
- output data to this file. If the file is -, data will be sent to stdout.
/etc/dwunauth by default.
- -v
- version info.
- -h
- help info.
Sometimes using dwunmakeauth on an authentication file that is being used by
a running dwun will work. Sometimes not. One issue is the pagesize of the system
it is being run on. To be safe, restart dwun (admin RESTART command, or kill
-HUP then rerun dwun) before changing the authfile.
